Finding a HDMI 360 with Samsung or Hitachi?

[criminalben]

I have a mate who wants to get one of the newer 360's with HDMI. He's not fussed about the size of the hard drive. Is there anywhere to buy one from where he stands a better chance of it having a Samsung or Hitachi drive, or is it just pot luck and have to keep fingers crossed?

I seriously doubt that any of the new 360's will be any thing other than a Hitachi 0079k or Benq... I think the luckiest you can expect is a 0078k

However, finding a HDMI 360 is soooo new in the UK that its unclear whats in them yet... let alone trying to find who stocks what!

fingers crossed is the onlything you can do at the mo, my mate got an elite the other day with a benq in it, not a happy bunny.

Need someone on the inside who can open up all the boxes in a warehouse and sort the bad from the good!

easy as pie
